Laranjeiras

Laranjeiras (Laranjeiras: Laranjeiras, Portugese: Laranjeiras), officially the Laranjeirian Confederation was a country that existed within the Maia world, bordering Harrinia. Its capital was Pomar. It is divided into 13 regions and a confederational district. As of a 2014 census, the population of Laranjeiras accounted for 200,004,000 people.

Laranjeiras had a very high-income market economy, and scores "very high" on the Human Development Index. The abundance of natural resource,the rapidly growing economy and the very high HDI make some scholars to refer to Laranjeiras as a "Regional Giant".

Etymology
The etymology is unknown. Some investigators says that the country's name derives from the first family that ruled the kingdom, the Laranjeira Family. But, some say that this name comes from the orange (Laranja, in Portugese) orchard that exists in the city of Pomar. Though the first theory is the most accepted,the second one makes sense too.

Background
Laranjeiras is a democratic kingdom with a constitutional monarchy regime. Due to the politics that the Laranjeira family implanted, the country experienced a quick development in the economic, social and politic departments. Now, the country has one of the best HDI in the whole Maia, a strong economy and a stable government that cares about healthcare, education and liberty of it people.

Administrative divisions
The Laranjeirian Kingdom is divided in 3 levels: confederal government, provincial government and municipal government. The municipalities and provincies have the autonomy to make new laws, but it cannot go against what the confederal government determines. Laranjeiras has 13 provincies and an confederal district. Each municipalitie has only one city inside of it. The laranjeirian capital Pomar is located at the DC Pomar, being also the largest city of the country. All the embassies stays, by law, at Pomar, but the consulates may be constructed in any city.
